Ritual: Path of Darkness

The presentation of the game has been completely changed with the final product in mind. We've simplified the mechanics a bit so as not to overwhelm the player, but it's not something we've thrown out, it's just that they're not in the demo now! Turrets! https://i.imgur.com/npCJchA.gif New cinematics, which better narrate the beginning of the game. https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2560090/ss_9341a79d753228aa6ee5ebd103503d8643943c6c.1920x1080.jpg Game distribution through levels on a large map https://i.imgur.com/qv5Okwp.gif Automation of gargoyles to allow the player to focus on making runes https://i.imgur.com/TLKGEqv.gif New gods (although it is limited in the demo!) A “base” from where you will be able to improve skills, talk to the goddess, go to the world map, .... (although in the demo you can only go to the world map and the goddess only talks to you when she requires it). And much more!

When using the mageia that increases the strength of the shadows, its attack looks different. https://i.imgur.com/vTBCS1m.gif The gargoyle's eye flickers if you try to use it when it is out of ammo. The stone of the first gargoyle has been modified to be seen more clearly at night. https://i.imgur.com/BH1TM4S.gif The door and the bone wall release particles when hit and shake slightly.

Pause menu Options can now be accessed from here, you don't need to go to the menu to change the sound or language. If you go to the menu or try to exit, a confirmation popup will appear indicating that progress will be lost. Main menu The candle fire has been changed. The ugly menu buttons (such as the skip cinematic) have been moved to the options screen.

Major updates Shadows A shadow that attacks the target has been added https://i.imgur.com/5Hdug9f.gif 3 new perks in the book for these shadows https://i.imgur.com/gLmwOr6.jpg New Rune System The importance of the battlefield has been reduced and more importance has been given to the part of the runes. A new rune pool has also been introduced, now the runes are not the same for each run, but are randomized. 6 new in Tier 1 24 new in Tier 2 34 new in Tier 3 13 new in Tier 4 11 new in Tier 5 Special runes have been introduced In the demo they are chosen when you unlock new runes, in the final version they will be chosen before the game. https://i.imgur.com/MklFLHt.gif These special runes differ from each other by color and give a special resource (essence) in addition to the main resource (Arcane). https://i.imgur.com/67EmtWN.jpg Having just one of these runes unlocks two things: 1) New skills to use during the game 2) The ability to enter "Mageia Synchrony".
